A 2009 internet meme is reportedly the basis for the next season of American Horror Story.

Slender Man is a fictitious supernatural character who is unusually tall and with a featureless face. He wears a black suit and was the creation of internet forum user Eric Knudsen.

However US Weekly claim that producers of the FX drama now want to take Eric’s character and form the basis of their sixth season.

‘Someone else wrote the script, and AHSwants to adapt it to fit the show,’ says the insider, who claims that they want Lady Gaga, who won a Golden Globe for her performance in American Horror Story: Hotel, to return for the new series.

‘They have to buy the rights,’ the source added.

‘Then they’re going to figure out the cast from there.’

E! News however claim that according to their source, the new series won’t be about Slender Man and instead will be ‘an idea that has been hinted about in previous seasons’.

But we have to say that if we thought AHS had been creepy up to now, the inclusion of Slender Man would bring a whole new level of terror.
